The electrician found a disconnected duct. Apparently we were air conditioning the attic quite well!

Our neighbor, Billy, plays the blues and sings for everyone a couple of times per year. Sometimes there is dancing in the street.

Playing the classical ironing board. Lol. This is the only ironing board I've ever had. Bought it in 1971 as soon as I moved out on my own. Obviouly vintage now, but heavy and sturdy!

This is a cool snowflake I made at work for the annual contest. That particular year the Chief decided it was "for fun" and no contest. What??? If I had known that I wouldn't have tried so hard. Ha!
SewLibra:
The tree is decorated and I always use the skirt grandma and mom made. They hand sewed all those sequined appliques.

I bought this wreath this year. It runs on batteries for the lights and has a timer that automatically turns it on and off at the same time every night.
SewLibra:
That ballerina ornament is one of my faves. That and all the stringed instruments were from mom years ago.

I took on hand painting the inside and outside of our security door. I was very difficult to get underneath the scrolls and bars. I had to keep wiping paint off with rags.
SewLibra:
Unfortunately I found out too late I should have used oil based paint instead of latex. The little holes globbed up and it looked a mess!
SewLibra:
I poked out the dried paint from the places where it clogged the holes with an ice pick, and the end it looks pretty good. Much better than it did before anyway.
SewLibra:
Day two of painting the security door I went to the hardware store and found this Velcro-ish pad made for staining wood. I worked like a charm to apply the paint without the globs.

I got the idea for the fangs from a Youtube. They are held in with broken toothpicks. Halloween 2018.
